Preparing Your Landscaping For Cold Weather

When the temperature drops and cold weather months arrive, it is important to remember that our landscaping still needs attention. There are many things that we can do to prepare our landscape for the cold weather. Here are just a few:

  • Prune- it is helpful to prune some varieties of plants during the Fall and Winter months.
  • Plant- check out plant and vegetable varieties that can be planted during the cold months.
  • Mulch- remember to keep about 3 inches of mulch on your flowerbeds all year long. Mulch can help keep the roots warm and hold in moisture.
  • Container Plants- don't forget container plants. Some work well inside during cold weather and some can re-grow simply by taking a cutting of the plant.
